There are to pins you can touch together on the power connector of the power supply. You can do this to test the supply while it is out of the computer. That is why I suspect the supply or a bad cable. (neither one can be repaired.

Id the video on the main board, or a separate video card?

A little slow this morning. Do you see anything on the display, such as the bootup?

I have tested the power supply in a different emachines cpu and it works just fine.
I am getting NO display at all. As soon as the power cord is plugged in (once back in my machine) the MB kicks on without even hit the pwr switch, but no display or anything to get into bios.

The bios bootup (white lettering and black screen) come from the ram on the board.

Suspect the MB as now being bad.
The bios bootup (white lettering and black screen) come from the ram on the board.
Could it be an issue with wrong type of ram?

could be and it could be the power supply isn't enough to power a real ( non-emachine ) board and it could be that it's proprietary or that something else in the system is causing a problem.... Try a real power supply.... resurrecting an emachine is often not worth the effort.... in my opinion you are better off pulling the hard drive and MAYBE the cpu and putting them in a completely different system.
Could I at least hook my HD into another PC as a slave drive to access my files still?
